Courtesy PPR Medya The Cairo Film Festival has come under fire for attempted censorship from Turkish director Ferit Kılıç who has pulled his feature film “Dancing Angels” from the event in protest.
According to reps for the director, “Dancing Angels” had been selected as a Cairo Critics Week competition entry. This was announced during the fest’s Oct. 12 press conference and amplified by official social media posts. However the fest’s management subsequently sent an email to the film’s team announcing its abrupt removal from the lineup.
